Do I understand from some of the

profile?
No, that would be an error, you simply check in that list what your
current monitor profile is, you don't select it for a workingspace.
Do I then convert images that I open that mismatch into this
working
space profile?
You don't do anything active with your monitor profile; its all done
automatically by Photoshop. If you wish to convert stray files to your
RGB workingspace, that may well appropriate, but that would be a
universal workingspace, not a specific monitor profile.
This is quite neat. I finally understand what you just said to the
other poster. If one always converted to a smaller space, such as
the space of one's monitor, then the range of colors you have to work
with is unnecessarily restricted. There is no reason to restrict
yourself until you are ready to go to the final output device, at which
point one must throw away the colors the device can't reproduce.
Correct? I may get this in my head after all.
